"In the future, we will upload our minds into masterplates. In the event of death, we can download ourselves into our own biofabricated replicas. As a species, humanity shall become functionally immortal.

"Suicide Artist is a near-future noir about a compulsive cutter named Jan Eyesenck and his hired cinematographer. Together they create an independent video and distribute it to the illegal snuff market, offering millions of jaded viewers a glimpse at something new—suicide as performance art.

"After the success of his first video, (freshly-resurrected) Jan is approached by a shady producer willing to finance ten more. But before the eighth shoot can begin, things go horribly wrong…"

Suicide Artist is a 7600 word short story intended to appeal to fans of cyberpunk, technothrillers and near-future science fiction.

Warning: Not For Children! This story contains a graphic description of self-mutilation and suicide in the first chapter. Buyer beware!

Feedback welcome! Thanks for viewing.
